My mom and sister had to evacuate, but my dad had to stay out at STP. It's only about 10 to 15 miles from the coast, if that, but my family lives 22 miles away from the coast. Good thing the buildings at the plant can stand a plane flying into them. My mom and sister are actually in College Station, down the road from me, and they brought my dear baby Ziggy with them, who loves sleeping with me, so he's with me in my apartment, rather than the hotel room.
My thoughts and prayers are out there for the folks that couldn't evacuate, as well as those that did. I hope that damage is minimal in the places right on the coast and further inland, and the flooding is minimal.
